b. Functional POC: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Logistics Management Standards, 703-

767-2611, DLA Transaction Services, 937-431-8000

2. FUNCTIONAL AREAS: 

a. Primary/Secondary Functional Area: Logistics Metrics

b. Primary/Secondary Functional Area: Supply

3. REFERENCE: DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) Volume 6 

(Logistics Systems Interoperability Support Services), Chapter 4 – Pipeline Measurement.

4. APPROVED CHANGE: 

 a. Brief Overview of Change: This change updates the Logistics Metric Analysis Reporting 

System (LMARS) Fill Rules to correspond to changes implemented in the DOD supply chain. The 

Fill Rules were established over 10 years ago by the Customer Wait Time Committee (CWTC), 

which oversaw the development and implementation of LMARS. A known issue during the last 

meetings of the CWTC was that the fill rate “Other” category should stay relatively small, ideally under 10%. 

The excessively large fill rate “Other” category was to be researched and a solution devised to reassign orders 

to another Fill Type as appropriate. LMARS uses these business rules to determine the report category 

for each transaction that is in the LMARS monthly LRT file. For current LMARS Fill Type Criteria 

refer to: 

 C4.6.3.1.1. LMARS Fill Type Table. Access the LMARS Fill Type Table at:

www.dla.mil/j-/dlmso/Archives/PMPRC/documents/Type_of_Fill_Table.xlsx.

 b. Background: Since LMARS was last updated, Components may have changed how they 

categorize their transactions in the LMARS Logistics Response Time (LRT) file used to generate the 

LMARS monthly reports. Previously an issue was identified by DLA Transaction Services that 

incorrectly categorizes a variety of requisitions to the fill rate “Other” category based on the use of 

the “Last Status” field. One example of why this occurs is when a customer attempts to modify a 

requisition and the Inventory Control Point (ICP) responds with B2 status (cannot be modified). 

This B2 status gets stored in LMARS as the Last Status and places the requisition in the Other Fill 

Type category. The following LMARS Monthly reports are directly affected by the Fill Rules: 

Guard, Reserve, Wholesale (ICP), Contractor Wholesale ICP, Wholesale ICP Consumable Item 

Transfer Breakout, and Wholesale ICP Reparable National Stock Numbers (NSN). Refer to:

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/Archives/PMPRC/documents/LMARS_FILL_Rules_Procedures.docx. 
Attachment ADC 1038

for the Fill Rules Procedures as currently implemented in LMARS. 

 (1) DLA Transaction Services uses the fill rules to produce accurate monthly LMARS 

Monthly reports. To these produce accurate reports, these fill rules need to be accurate and complete.

 (2) Type of Fill Definition and Criteria for each transaction in LMARS Monthly LRT file at: 

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/Archives/PMPRC/documents/LMARS_FILL_Rules_Procedures.docx. Inventory 

Control Point (ICP); Indicates where the Service/Agency requisition is sent to or the Materiel 

Release Order (MRO) is sent from. Current values used in the fill rules are based on the first 

position (Service/Agency Code) of the Routing Identifier Code (RIC) To in the requisition and the 

RIC-From in the MRO. (changes to fill rules definition and criteria for the Service/Agency are in bold 

yellow italics).

S9C, S9G, S9I, S9E, S9P, S9T, S9M, S9S DLA Legacy ICPs

(a) Customer (CUST): The Service/Agency indicated by the Ship-to address as defined 

by the signal code. Current values used in the Fill Rules are based on the first position

(Service/Agency Code) of the "Ship To" DoD Activity Address Code (DoDAAC). 

(b) Last/Ship: The last status code received at DLA Transaction Services before the 

shipment transaction was received at DLA Transaction Services. 

(c) 1st Status: The first status code received at DLA Transaction Services. Current 

values incorporated in the Fill Rules are:

(d) BB/BC/NF: Determine if a BB, BC or NF (NAVY only) status code was ever 

received at DLA Transaction Services indicating a back order. 

(e) Special: Determine if a DIC Code A4_ or A5_from RIC NBU, NBW, or PBQ to 

RIC Q9Q, QA6, QEP, QN2, QN9, OR QZX was received (applies to Navy ICP only). If a 

transaction is received with a combination of the aforementioned RIC, it is typically categorized as a 

Planned DVDs, unless it has a BB, BC, or NF status code, in which case it will be categorized as a 

backorder. For those Fill Rules to which this does not apply (e.g., non-Navy ICPs), a “No check” 

value will be placed indicating that this rule does not apply.

(f) Acquisition Advice Code (AAC): The AAC identifies how and under what 

restrictions an item will be acquired. The AAC is obtained from the National Item Identification 

Number (NIIN) file. 

(g) 120 hour: Determine the time between the first status code received at DLA 

Transaction Services and the last status code received at DLA Transaction Services before the 

shipment transaction was received at DLA Transaction Services. Current values incorporated in the 

(h) Category: Define the report category to which the business rule is assigned. 

(i) Procurement Instrument Identification Number (PIIN): Indicate if a Procurement 

Item Identification Number is received and/or what value is in it. The PIIN filter is currently only 
Attachment ADC 1038

Page 3

used by DLA to determine if the document number is to be categorized as a planned DVD, 

unplanned DVD, or “Other” fill category. Presently, no other Service/Agency uses this filter in their 

business rules. The first number in the value field (e.g., 9, 9-10, 17, 1) indicates the column/position

of the PIIN that is being checked; the value after the number indicates the value being checked 

against. For example: a value of “9 D” in this field will check to see if the 9th position of the PIIN 

equals “D.”

(j) National Item Identification Number (NIIN): Used to determine if the value in RP 

8-20 of the requisition is on the DLA Transaction Services NIIN file. The NIIN filter is currently 

only used by DLA to determine if the document number is to be categorized as a planned DVD, 

unplanned DVD, or “Other” fill category. Presently, no other Service/Agency uses this filter in their 

business rules. 

 (k) Two events cause transactions to go through the Fill Rules table: the document

number receiving a shipment transaction and the end of the calendar month is reached. Upon the

fulfillment of either of these two events, all the recorded data for that document number passes 

through the type of fill logic, line by line, in order of the table (e.g., top to bottom). A document 

number is assigned the appropriate fill category and reported on when the criteria in the fill line are 

met. Transactions are assigned to the “Other” category when the logistics actions taken do not meet 

the criteria detailed in the Type of Fill Rules. In most cases the document number stays in its initial 

category until complete. Once a document number is categorized to the B/O category, it will never 

change categories. In LMARS, rules state "Once a B/O, always a B/O". The remaining categories 

could change based on updated transactions received for the document number, but since the item 

has already been shipped, they most likely will not. An example of a change in category would be a 

denial of an MRO after the shipment transaction was sent. The time would be reset and when a new 

shipment is received.

 c. Approved change in detail: To more accurately assign Fill Type category and eliminate 

the large number of "Other" transactions from the LMARS reports, last status before shipment is to 

be defined as last status that affects Fill Type category before shipment. The following are the 

statuses that will be captured for the Last Status-based rules in LMARS. Any other status will not be 

passed on to LMARS. The status codes that affect fill type category are BA, BB, BC, BV, BZ, for 

all services. Fill Type category NF is a status code that effects only the Navy. Receipt of a MILS 

AB_ transaction (Direct Delivery Notice) will be used for all services.

During the Component review of the PDC, fill rule changes were identified as shown. Revise Type 

of Fill Criteria Table as follows (changes are in bold yellow)

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: It is important to assign each transaction to the appropriate fill 

category because the time allowed completing the fill and the reporting standards of the fill 

categories may be dissimilar. Furthermore, each Component uses data extracted from this process, as 

well as unique Service data, to evaluate their individual logistics processes. Requisitions assigned 

to a wrong type of fill category, create a skewed and inaccurately reported average time for those fill 

actions both at the Service/Agency level as well as the DOD level. The inaccurate data and resulting 

LMARS Monthly reports could provide an adverse outcome by creating business practice changes 

that will fail to deliver any constructive effect on the current logistic pipeline and processes.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTGES

a. Advantages: Data and the ensuing reports will more accurately reflect today's business 

practices creating a responsive logistics pipeline measurement that rapidly delivers current Monthly 

LMARS reports to the DOD supply chain. 

b. Disadvantage: None noted.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: DLA Logistics Management

Standards Office and DLA Transaction Service will implement the new fill rule changes in LMARS 

upon receipt of ADC 1038. 

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: none

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: none

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: none

 c. Automated Information Systems (AIS):

(1) Updates Logistics Metrics Analysis Reporting system (LMARS)

(2) No impact to DOD component systems

 d. DLA Transactions Services: DLA Transaction Services will post changes to type of fill 

criteria used in LMARS.
